Oracle linux server hangs while booting

1000026Apr 1 2013 — edited Apr 1 2013
Hello,
I'm running Oracle Linux Server 6.1.64 in VirtualBox 4.1.16 as the guest OS. The host OS is Windows 7.

After installing, it worked for a week or so. Then I decided to apply the 700 odd updates suggested by the package manager.

Thereafter while booting, it gets stuck after completing the progress bar for Oracle Linux Server 6.1.

I am able to go into single mode by editing the GRUB command and there are no issues there.

I looked into /var/log/dmesg and messages. I am no Linux expert, but I didn't see anything that jumped out as an error.

Any advice on how to go about debugging this would be appreciated.
